Prague Sparta 1–5 The Reds are on the verge of securing a spot in the Europa League quarterfinals, and Darwin Nunez scores twice in the first half to lead the team. Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool has already scored 1,000 goals.

When Jurgen Klopp’s tenure at Liverpool comes to an end, there will be a collection of goals that includes many rasping strikes and zapping team plays, but few will be sweeter than the 1,000th.

Darwin Nunez, fresh off scoring Liverpool’s most recent Premier League winning goal, smashed league leaders Sparta Prague of the Czech Republic with a twisting 25-yard strike, adding another impressive milestone to his resume.

Nevertheless, Kоnаte wisely decided tо remоve the Frenchmаn аs а preventive step due tо minоr muscle pаin. “If I dо аnоther sprint, it cоuld be set,” Ibоu tоld Klоpp, аccоrding tо Klоpp. “He оught tо be аlright, but we аre uncertаin.”With this journey to Prague returning to its nearly ideal form from halftime, the red half of Merseyside may now breathe a sigh of relief. Liverpool cruised to victory while resting a number of important players and getting valuable playing time for injured stars.

That came from Dominik Szoboszlai, who scored the game-winning goal, and Nunez, who was not at full fitness despite his blistering form. Mohamed Salah, our talisman, had a nice 15-minute cameo off the bench that put him in the mix to start versus City.If local lads thriving in the first team was the theme of February at Liverpool, then South American spice has been the theme of March. Along with that prolific brace from Uruguayan Nunez, Luis Diaz of Colombia and Alexis Mac Allister of Argentina also flourished, adding goals to the score.

Although Mac Allister is emerging as a major player for this strong Liverpool squad, Nunez is currently Klopp’s first choice. A great guy, a great kid, the manager gushed. He enjoys being a part of this team and playing with these guys.

Before Liverpool came to town, Sparta had won every home game this season. The league leaders from the Czech Republic were obviously not a pushover, despite the fact that their defense smelled like yesterday’s citywide farming protest, complete with tractors depositing dung near the Charles Bridge.

A number of goals, including the first by Mac Allister, were caused by careless mistakes made by Brian Priske’s squad, which allowed Liverpool to weather their rapid counterattacks. After Asger Sorensen’s hard touch and mistimed tackle, he won and converted a penalty.

Even though they were helpless against Nunez’s strong brace, the five-minute spell set the tone for the rest of the evening. The first was a twisting 25-yard shot, and the second was a thunderous half-volley set up by my dear friend Mac Allister.
